Quaglione proposes new video and photo database to help defeat local crime
Eyes on the Street’ Lets Civilians Help Fight Crime
With the reported 25 percent spike in felony assaults this past year, and a 9 percent increase in burglaries in Bay Ridge, a candidate for City Council has proposed a more efficient way to fight rising crime in our neighborhoods.
John Quaglione’s plan calls for greater civilian involvement in cutting crime through the use of modern technology in anti-crime efforts by making iPhones and home security cameras an important part of the battle to keep the streets safe.
Quaglione, deputy chief of staff to state Sen. Marty Golden (R-C-Bay Ridge-Southwest Brooklyn), is one of three Republicans running in the GOP primary on Sept. 12 for the seat in the 43rd City Council District. His opponents are Bob Capano and Liam McCabe.
